Thomas Jefferson
I have been happy . . . in believing that . . . whatever follies we may be led into as to foreign nations, we shall never give up our Union, the last anchor of our hope, and that alone which is to prevent this heavenly country from becoming an arena of gladiators.
Thomas Jefferson
I hope that we have not labored in vain, and that our experiment will still prove that men can be governed by reason.
Thomas Jefferson
To the corruptions of Christianity I am indeed opposed but not to the genuine precepts of Jesus himself.
Thomas Jefferson
Experience has already shown that the impeachment the Constitution has provided is not even a scarecrow.

Thomas Jefferson
